PRIVACY POLICY
Effective: January 11, 2008
What Information We Collect
Generally speaking, our website is informational. Your "personally identifiable
information", that is, information about you as an individual which would
permit someone to contact you, such as your email address, is only provided if
you email us with questions or for any other reason. Otherwise, we do not
obtain any personally identifiable information about you through this site
unless you voluntarily provide it.
As is the case when you visit most websites, to administer our site, your visit
triggers the automatic logging of certain anonymous information about your
computer system such as the type of browser you use, the server name and your
"IP" (Internet Protocol) address. When your web browser or email
application requests a web page or email from another computer using the Internet,
it automatically gives that computer your computer's "address" so it
knows where it should send the information. This is called your computer's
"IP address." This anonymous information does not contain any
personally identifiable information about you.
How We Protect Your Information
We protect the confidentiality and security of any personal information you may
provide us by using industry-recognized security safeguards such as firewalls,
coupled with carefully developed security procedures to protect your information
from loss, misuse or unauthorized alteration.
Our employees safeguard your information through the use of physical, electronic
and procedural safeguards. Through this we restrict access to this information
to those employees and agents for business purposes only. Additionally, we use
internal and external resources to frequently review the adequacy of our
security procedures. You need to know, however, that due to the open
communication nature of the Internet we cannot guarantee that communication
between you and us, and between us and you, will be free from unauthorized
access by third parties nor can we be responsible for information stolen from
our servers by information harvesting software which may have the ability to
scrape data.
We Do Not Sell Or Rent Any Information You Provide Us
If you provide personally identifiable information to us, please know we do not
share your personal information with third parties for promotional use without
your consent. We feel it is important that you control what marketing
information you receive.
We may, however, have to disclose, transfer, sell or assign any information
obtained through this website, or otherwise in our possession, to a third party
as a result of a sale, merger, consolidation, change in control, transfer of
substantial assets, reorganization or liquidation of Pad4Pad. We may also have
to make information obtained through this website, or otherwise in our
possession, available to law enforcement personnel and agencies when requested
to do so or as required by law.
Cookie Technology
Cookie technology is employed, at your option, when you access our website. The
purpose of cookies is for us to track the uses of our site and are not
"personally identifiable" information. "Cookies" are small
text files sent by Web servers to be stored on the computers of website users.
These files often contain personalization settings or unique identifiers, to
keep track of your information and to help us understand the movements of users
within and between websites.
Privacy Statement Changes
We reserve the right to change or amend our Privacy Policy to address new issues
of privacy and information security and to reflect changes to our website or
business practices. Any new changes and/or amendments will be noted on our Home
Page and will always be posted in this section of the Pad4Pad website.
